WD My Book Live Performance

Hello All, I recently installed serviio 0.6.1 on the WD My Book Live. The installation went good and flawless. I was able to get everything working but... it's extremely slow when listing folders/content. This stand true for a Sony Smp-n100 , PS3, and XBMC station. I have most tried with all metadata settings off and I still get the same results. Anyone know what could be causing this. Out of despair I tried disabling serviio and enabling twonky and it lists all content super fast. After doing some reading I found that maybe the solution might involve moving up to 0.6.2, so I upgraded. Same results. I definitely want to use serviio over twonky, so my question, is there any way to speed it up on the wd mybook live? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Make sure that serviio has full access to its folders. You are getting the following.

  Code:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: An SQL data change is not permitted for a read-only connection, user or database.

Also there is part of the log that has the java version and the operating system. Can you post that part.

Ok hopefully this looks ok but here is the part of the log that you were talking about. So when you say that serviio should have full access to its folders, do I specifically have to add the serviio user to those folders. During the installation the serviio user gets added to root group, wouldn't set the privileges need for the directories?

[moltra]

You version of java is old try to update it.

Ok so after a pain in the you know what time. I finally got java updated. here is my output:

  Code:

:~# java -version
java version "1.7.0_03-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1) (7~u3-2.1-1)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 22.0-b10, interpreted mode)


I originally tried to do it manually but got stuck along the way. After doing a few searches on java7 debian I found one on the debian.org site. I found a package for other distros but not squeeze. I did see one for "Sid". I remember seeing this version some where so I looked back at the /etc/apt/sources.list and sure enough it was # out. So I removed the # from "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main" and ran apt-get update, then apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk. I had to run update-alternatives --config java to figure out if it was all set...... ...... it wasn't so I had to fix java.

Now that its out of the way I am sorry to say that its pretty much the same problem. Still slow in showing files. On the Smp-n100 every file gives a " The file is corrupt or unsupported." This is true for m2ts, mkv, vob, everything, even mp3s.

Is there a better version of serviio that I should be on to maximize performance and playback on all devices?

have you selected the correct profile for your device in serviio console? (sony BD profile) please provide a new log file after the java update.

note - there is NO other version of serviio so stop keep asking 0.6.2 is fine and its your setup that is an issue and moltra is trying to help you sort that.

Hello and thank you for the reply. Yes I do have the correct profile set for my player. It is a Sony SMP-N100. I hope I didn't come off rude in any of my comments, in asking if there was another version that worked better with the My Book Live. I do appreciate Moltra has offered so far and have expressed my gratitude by saying thank you. Also the guide for the WD MBL in the wiki says to use 0.6.1. In order to not turn this into a pissing contest I will stop right there. I have decided that it maybe to start all over and apply what I have learned thus far. I will post my results and logs once I am done. Thank you all for your help and the devs that have created this wonderful software. I greatly appreciate it.

Also the guide for the WD MBL in the wiki says to use 0.6.1.

The guide lists 0.6.1 because that's what was available at that time that I pieced everything together, it wasn't a recommended version to run. So if you download the new version, make sure you update the paths listed in the other steps to the new path of 0.6.2 and you should be all good with respect to that.

By following the guide, then the serviio service should be running under the user "serviio". If so, then I would try to run this command one more time.

  Code:

chown serviio -R /usr/local/serviio

It's possible that after running everything a couple files were created that serviio doesn't have access to. This will reset the owner of all files in the serviio app to the serviio user. Even in the root group, I still occasionally had to run that command after having everything set to resolve a permission error.

Personally, I have seen a slowness when first launching and selecting the folders option in the serviio on by sony blueray, but after it's been processed by the Blue ray things are better. It seems like it's cacheing or indexing the folders. So hopefully after you get the errors taken care of you'll be good.

One more thought if you are still having issues, what version of firmware do you have on the MBL?
